22 Weex II: The Good

Not that it would have taken much, but today has been a MUCH better day! Morgan got up and went outside this morning, all of my dishes were clean and I just felt better. I realized after I wrote my entry yesterday that I just really need to focus on the GOOD things and the things that I DO remember. That way the bad things won't seem as huge.

Here are some GOOD things that have happened and some things I've actually remembered in the past few days:

* Jayna is moving around like a wild child. She sure is a wiggler. And she loves to stop moving when Chris touches my belly...already playing games with daddy.

* I feel better physically. With the exception of the rib pain, I haven't been having many problems. My back hasn't been hurting as much. I'm sleeping better. My legs seem to have settled down in regards to the RLS. I'm eating regularly and mostly good food. Oh, and no more...um...bathroom issues for now.

* On Tuesday I got my hair cut and colored...by my original hairdresser!! Yes, she's back from selling dumpsters! And she definitely let me know how jacked up my highlights were from the other place I went to. She had to put lots of dark back in my hair. Anyhoozy, she fixed it and I feel like I look like myself again. Yay!

* Also on Tuesday, I sold all of my handmade scrapbook stuff that was for sale. One person bought it ALL!! She's going to sell it in her vintage/gift shop. How neat! And she wants the whole order that I sold her again by the end of May!! It finally looks like I may make some money off of my rather expensive hobby!

* Over the weekend I made a framed page and matching card for my father-in-law's friend's daughter for her first communion. Now, you all know I'm not catholic...or any religion for that matter. I was happy to accept the challenge, but I was apprehensive about doing well because I don't really know about first communions. Well, the gift was given last Sunday and I "knocked it out of the park!!" Everyone loved the gift, especially the girl's mother. Yay!!

* On Sunday Chris and I went to register at Babies R Us. We had fun, but it took almost 4 hours!! Who knew a baby needed that much junk. After picking things out and envisioning what Jayna's room will look like, I've become very excited about getting things done around our house so we can begin putting the room together!! Now if only I had a crib...I guess that's another post since this one is labeled "The Good" and, well, that ain't good.

* I remembered to take our recycling to the bin yesterday. That always makes me feel good. And we only have 2 bags of garbage for the garbage men this week...all because of recycling.

* I remembered to call about Chris' allergy medicine yesterday. And he really needed it. Yay, me!!

* I remembered to research my mother-in-law's gift for her birthday. Her birthday is Saturday and her husband (my father-in-law) decided that it would be a good idea to get her a nice spa package for a day of beauty and relaxation and have everyone pitch in. I found a nice place and I think that it's a wonderful gift. I'm happy to contribute to it! She's stressed lately and needs some peace and quiet for a day. Hell, she's a teacher. She needs LOTS of peace and quiet at this time of year EVERY year!!

Now, how many of those had to do with pregnancy/baby stuff? A few. But these GOOD things have put the BAD things into perspective for me. Like...a WONDERFUL birthday gift for someone I love is WAY more important than a rotten eggplant. Enough said.
